Dr Patrick Dixon - Clients - Strategy, Trends, Conference Speaker


Dr Patrick Dixon's clients are mainly the world's largest multinational corporations, providing consulting, advice on strategy and trends, conference keynotes, workshops or seminars. He has visited over 50 nations, and many of his audiences are multi-language, multi-cultural.  He speaks to audiences in up to 4 different countries a week, from boards and senior leadership teams to large-scale events for up to 4,500 people.  Each presentation is adapted carefully to each industry and audience, working closely with the event organiser.

He brings a broad perspective, challenging corporations to "take hold of the future", with strategic insights drawn not only from their own industry, but also from his wide experience with other corporations and sectors.

"Large corporations are looking for growth opportunities. One of their greatest risks is institutional blindness - being surrounded by too many people with a similar world view."
